So sorry to hear this, Dee. Bad end to a not-good week.
Your equipment and ID can be replaced, I hope you had a backup of that hard drive.
My heart goes out to you.

unlike where youre from ? perhaps the culprit drove down from youre neck of the woods .
I feel bad for you dee and i will keep an eye out . I copied youre list . Theres not a lot of that stuff in these little pawn shops down here . If you recorded serial #s that would help .
Unfortunately, the only serial numbers I have are of my 3 lenses. I have all the other manuals, but never wrote down the numbers from the boxes.
The room was not ransacked, it was in pristine condition when we returned. There's no way this could have been a random break-in, it had to be some form of an inside job

CigDaze if you don't like Key West then don't come back. It suck what happened to Dee and whoever did this is a scumbag, BUT I am willing to bet they are a visitor just like you and not from Key West...

Dee, make sure you go to creditreport.com and get a credit report for you and your roommates quickly. They often will try to open up CC's etc in your name to charge stuff with all your info. It prob would not be too difficult to look online for the pawn shops in the area. Chances are they are going back to Miami. Good luck to you, this sucks! Happened to me on a cruise and because it was international, my homeowners wouldn't pay. $15k or so in jewelry. Makes you feel violated!!!!!

Recently my girlfriend's car was broken into in my own back yard, They stole all of her camera equipment she uses for pet photos. Something we learned is , DO NOT call pawn shops. If you want to go to them and look and ask if they have something fine, but don't call. Whatever they take in, is described in writing to the police once a month. If they know you are looking for it they won't report it. Such was the case with an item I found of my girls stuff at a local shop. We called there, they said no no no, but when I went out of curiousity, I found something. No offense to all the good pawn people. Just thought I would pass along what the police told me and my experience.

Yes freeze your credit and keep a copy of the police report on yourself so if someone is writing bad checks in your name they will not try to arrest you. Sorry for your loss, but we all suffer from this if we don't get to see your shots. Always enjoyed your pictures.
